EBLING MEIER, OF CHRISTIANIA, NORWAY.

cARBUitETER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERLING MEIER, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Christiania, Norway, have invented certain new and ,useful Improvements in Carbureters; and I do hereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked there- 'on, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in 'carbureters, and the object of the invention is to facilitate the starting of the motor and 1 improve the evaporation of the liquid com- ,bustible. These objects are attained chiefly by means of a cup or vessel surrounding the nozzle outlet, which cup will be filled with liquid fuel, when the motor is not working,

or when it is working slowly, and will 00-.

operate with the air intake in such a way that when the motor is started the fuel in the said cup will be volatilized by means of the air sucked in past the cup.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a central vertical section through acarbureter constructed according to my invention, and Fig. 2-is a plan thereof.v

The liquid fuel passes from a float chamber (not shown) through a' passage 5 to the nozzle 6 of the carbureter, which is con trolled as usual by means of the needle valve 7.

The nozzle 6 is surrounded bya cup or vessel 8.' When the motor is resting and be fore it is started, the liquid fuel is allowed to flow into the cup 8. Inside the cup 8 is placed an annular perforated plate 16, which is connected by means of links 17 to levers 18. The latter are provided at their Specification of Letters Patent.

free ends with vanes or plates lil obstructng the a1r passage around the cup 8. When the motor is started and air is sucked in through the inlet 10 asindicated by the arrows, the vanes will be pressed upward and will in turn press the'plate 16 down into the cup. The liquid fuel in the cup will then be pressed as a spray through holes in the said plate and will be taken up by thev suction and volatilized.

I claim 1. In a carbureter, a jet device for combustible, a cup surrounding the same, and means to form the combustible in the cup into jets, said means actuated by the air for vaporizing the combustible.

2. In a carburetor, a nozzle, a cup surrounding the same, a perforated plate in said cup normally above the liquid level therein, and means actuated by the air for vaporizing the combustible, to force said plate down into the combustible and form jets by said perforations.

3. In a carbureter, the combination of a nozzle for the liquid, a cup' surrounding the nozzle and adapted to contain liquid fuel when the motor is resting, a perforated ERLING MEIER.
